Would that I could be ( poetry )

Would that I could be like that first spring breeze,
Flowing around your shoulders like a treasured shawl,
Warm patterns of love, renewal, and promise,
Embroidered upon the fabric of it's form..

And would that I could be like the universe,
And you the beautiful astronomer,
Forever yours to discover,
Forever part a mystery too.

Would that I could be like the morning sky above you,
And cast your night away,
And warm your world,
And cast this winter's cold away at last.

Would that I could be,
Everything above , and much, much more.

Would that I could be,
Lost in my illusions, instead of lost in thoughts of you.

Never blame me for seeing the future in your eyes,
Nor could I ever blame you for seeing the past in mine.

You made me to remember things forgotten,
To re-discover things again once lost,
Unwrapped like tiny presents, as much a gift,
As any gem or ruby.

Would that I could be the answer to your question.
Would that I could be the thought upon your mind tonight,
Would that I could be solved like some equation,
Written out in chalk across this cold and starry winter night.
